Journal ArticleDOI

Reconsideration of Amyloid Hypothesis and Tau Hypothesis in Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: Recent findings indicate that the main factor underlying the development and progression of AD is tau, not Aβ, and the deficiencies of the amyloid hypothesis are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structures of α-synuclein filaments from multiple system atrophy

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy reveals the structures of α-synuclein filaments from the brains of individuals with multiple system atrophy, which has implications for understanding the mechanisms of aggregate propagation and neurodegeneration in the human brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Longer forms of amyloid beta protein: implications for the mechanism of intramembrane cleavage by gamma-secretase.

TL;DR: An α-helical model is proposed in which longer Aβ species generated by ϵ-cleavage is cleaved at every three residues in its carboxyl portion in a dose-dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Truncation and pathogenic mutations facilitate the formation of intracellular aggregates of TDP-43

TL;DR: It is proposed that generation and aggregation of phosphorylated C-terminal fragments of TDP-43 play a primary role in the formation of inclusions and resultant loss of normal T DP-43 localization, leading to neuronal degeneration in TDP -43 proteinopathy.
